The Best Plant Yet Discovered for con.oii

The Best Plant Yet Discovered Tor COnsOE.
dating Loose Soil.
The chief roadmaster OF the French
Government railways has made the in.
raresung discovery THAT The best plant
yet discovered for consolidating the
loose soil OF a newly made cmbanhmcnt
by the interlacing OF its roots is the
double poppy. The ordinary grasses
or cloycrs employed for the purpose
require, be says, several months for
the development Of their comparatively
feeble roots. when the double poppy
terminates in few days, and at the
end of three or four months its roots
are foot long and tightly enterlacea.
The plant is an annual, bat il sows
itself the first year. In France it is
among the hardest of the common
plants, and If il is so with us also VIC
hope that the Authorities Will not neg
lcct this discovery, as the brilliant hue
of the poppy in great masses would be
delightful as one flew by it for miles
and miles. Perhaps, too, il would im-
pregnate the air with odors bringing
sleep TO the restless traveller And
next, some one will discover an equally
scientific use for the daisy and tho
camela, and even for the orchid. ~

The latest on the bill of fare up
here is another war. The signs
are so plain it must come, but the
situation is somewhat rendered
easier to bear, from the fact that
the war is ouly to last two years.
Well, now the inquisitive reader
may wish to know what all this war
and blood shed is about. | will
tell you-some OF our neighbors
have found blades of corn torked in
the fields, and as there are only
two splits in the corn blades, of
course the war is to last but two
years. This sign is said to never
fail to bring war as the two last
wars in which these United States
have been engaged were ushered ia
by forked corn blades. In the face
